Since it seems like there are always a few states whose results are only gradually known, there may not be a definitive aha moment where it becomes known that the map is the same. So I don't think I would ever laugh about it. It might be cool looking back on it in hindsight.

I think the chances of this are pretty small though. 538 looks at this when they do their election simulations. The chance of a repeat map is a couple percent at most. There are too many swing states for it to be likely they all line up the right way.
